    Nice progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
    How do you cut brass tube? I seem to destroy its edges upon cutting it.

    Thanks Spiros my friend, I use either a saw or roll it under a knife then file the ends and clean the inside with a drill or #11 blade.

    Tube in for prop shaft, more clearance for cockpit tub, replacing resin nose gear well with plastic sheet, resin glued with super glue failed twice so it's gone !
